New Chair Takes the Stick

Following Ian Gale’s three years of distinguished service, Paul Mansfield has been elected our new Chair.

A former Royal Air Force officer, Paul brings extensive experience in aviation regulation and international approvals for (among other things) stratospheric solar-powered missions, and is also a volunteer instructor at Aerobility.

As Paul puts it:
“I’m honoured to have been voted your new Chair by the Committee. It’s not officially official until you, the members, ratify it at the AGM. I’ll stick around if you want me to…”

He’s already working on several initiatives — so watch this space.

Hello – I’m Paul. How can I help?
